simecol (version 0.3-11)

iteration: Discrete Simulation

Description

Solver function to simulate discrete ecological (or other) dynamic models. It is normally called indirectly from sim.

Usage

iteration(obj, animate = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

obj

the simObj object to be iterated

animate

animation during the simulation

...

optional arguments passed to the plot function if animate=TRUE

Value

• a list of the model outputs (states ...) for each timestep.

Details

The solver method iteration is used to simulate discrete event models. It creates a local environment in a way that parameters, inputs and equations are visible within the main function of the simObj. Normally, this function is run indirectly from sim.

Examples

data(conway)
  ## plot after simulation:
  plot(sim(conway), delay=100)

  ## plot during simulation
  sim(conway, animate=TRUE, delay=100)
